Recycle

Iggyslist is a free online classified ad feature with a green component, as well. Instead of throwing away unwanted office supplies, for instance, list them on Iggyslist so another student or department can reuse them. Students and employees can use Iggyslist to reduce their waste by looking for reused and affordable goods, limiting their paper use by posting online instead of on campus bulletin boards, and by sharing resources like carpools or services.
